Tableaux dans un grenier - Roger Lacroix

Nadia, the daughter of an abstract painter who died twenty years ago, lives in a working-class district of Liege. She shows us around her loft, where dozens of canvasses are piled up in the dark; we can make out some paintings and wonderful, flanboyants colours. Why are they hanging about in an attic? Might they disappear? A few experts, however, judge them to be important works. The painter Roger Lacroix (1933-1984) lived and died in bleak, lonely poverty on the margins of society. The film begins an investigation into the life, death and work of this Liege-born artist of exceptional talent and destiny.
